SUPPORTED BY STATE.
A FAMILY OF SEVEN. A woman who appeared in the Juvenile Offenders' Court on Saturday accompanying two small children, charged with not being under proper control, admitted tearfully that her five other children were all supported by the , State. The police stated that the two children had no home to go to, and had been brought to the station out of charity. The woman's husband was-not living with her, and was not regular with his maintenance payments. The. magistrate, Mr. F. K. Hunt, said there was nothing" to do but assign these other children to an institution. They could be claimed as soon as there was . a home for them.
